Community Spotlight Episode 150

Holy Smokes! We're back! Did ya'll miss us? We sure missed you all! Welcome one and all to our 150th Spotlight episode! 150! Wow, can you believe it? This episode will wow and amaze you just as it did us. By the time I got down to the end of the levels I was laying in the fetal position in the corner because my mind had been blown so many times! A giant THANK YOU to all the creators who continue to provide hours and hours of entertainment. YOU are the reason we do this. So let's get right to it! James Cameron himself couldn't have written a better episode. Enjoy.

The Clock Repairer by Intangir85Oh no! The old cuckoo clock is broken! Fortunately a tiny imp, the Clock Repairer, is ready to fix it! Travel into an imaginative cuckoo clock and try to repair it in this funny Point&Click-Platformer! -----ONE PLAYER ONLY! This level is dedicated to my friends that supported me and all my lovely beta testers!

Let me just get this out of the way real quick. Whoa!ô Wow, it is so good to be back! Man, after my PS3 bit the dust and then the site going down, I didn't know if I'd EVER be back. But then a miracle occurred, I got a PS4 AND the site came back. So that brings us to this quite ingenious level here. First off, it's gorgeous. I love the whole look of this level. Everywhere you look is a touch of elegance that can't be ignored. Second is the gameplay. Simply fascinating. It's a puzzle platformer at its finest and one that you MUST check out.

This must be one of the last levels I played in LBP2 and what an awesome note to finish on. Itís a beautifully put together level which will test both your grey cells and your agility. There are some very clever puzzles and neat bits of platforming here, all beautifully presented too. I loved the clock interior with its golden cogs and small mischievous but charming imp whose job it is to repair the broken workings. The point and click mechanics work really well and you can tell the thought thatís gone into making this, down to the really lovely animation for the ďmagicĒ you do. Iím not sure if this level works in LBP3 but if not, then itís definitely worth putting in your LBP2 disc back in and checking it out.

The M-Scanner (1 Player Mini-Game) (Update V.6) by metlgearsolid200Use the M-Scanner to scan the button boards. There appears to be a bug in the system and buttons are missing from them, the M-Scanner will report these problems to the workers and they will fix them. If you get a score of 100, you'll get 50 bonus points and a prize. I'd like to thank my girlfriend

At first, I thought this was going to be a 3D like level since in the beginning you are walking around exploring places with 3D movement, but then i noticed it was just the menu! A really creative menu where you find and select the options such as stepping up to the main terminal to play a survival like game using the M-Scanner. The rules are simple as you have to select the missing button on each panel that comes toward you in order to score. Round after round it will get harder and the highscores will be very addictive when you seek to achieve them right after your first playthrough.

hyperdude95

Now, in the beginning, this level may trick you a little bit. You'll be thinking, "oh, ok, cool, a level in the mines." Ha ha, think again sackypants. You'll jump into a computer station where you will be playing a brutal mini-game. The idea is so very simple yet done masterfully. All you got to do guide the bomb through the correct hole. Square, X, triangle and circle. Level one is easy peasy and you'll be lulled into a false sense of, "I got this!" Dream on because Level 2 ramps up the speed and you'll be a button pushing maniac trying to keep up! Make to level 3 and your thumb will be a complete blur as your try to avoid blowing up the boards. Good luck, you're going to need it.

A fast paced platformer is always Oddsock's style of gameplay, am i right? Lava is fuming everywhere and stones floating above waiting for the agile sock to touch base and sprint through grabbing score bubbles along the way and walling sliding and bouncing across layers through the dangerous element of fire. Racing through the ruins is alot of fun and is a face-paced experienced that is fair and well executed, as I had the same amount of fun playing it for the second time around.

hyperdude95

Holy Crap! Can I say that? Anyway, this level...man, it's so good. I fell in love with this theme when it was introduced back in the LBP2 DC comics level kit and enjoy just about every level that uses it. And boy does this level use it well, extremely well. I really love the extra playable levels in LBP3 and they're put to good use here. I dig looking in the background at all those score bubbles and going, yep, I'm about to be right over there! This is a score fest if ever there was one so try and keep that combo going for as long as possible as you run, slide and jump here and there with the ever lovable Oddsock.

As a fan of the series, this creator should be proud because he nailed the underwater area just like in the real game. The lighthouse is there and is waiting for you to hop in and take a deep breath as you go in the depths of the sea not knowing what to expect (unless you already played this game of course) and in a matter of second floating past what is like an under water city you land and acquire different power ups that make the experience even more frantically fun.

hyperdude95

Wow, er, I mean, Whoa!ô Nick has captured the very essence of Bioshock right here. Oh man is this every gorgeous. From the very beginning this level took me back to the first time I started up Bioshock and I didn't stop grinning until the very end, where I frowned because it was over. Not only are the visuals drool inducing but the gameplay is superb as well. There's a nice variety in play so that you don't feel like you're doing the same thing over and over again. I can't believe this is only a Demo! Imagine what the full level will be! I can't, it makes my head explode.

Feather Thruster by KomodoBrothersUse boost boots, wall jumps, and velociporters in this bird sanctuary. Now you're boosting with the big birds. Music sequencer was musically sequenced by

The design, I recognized it to be Komodo's right away and I was really excited to see what was ahead of me and I was not disappointed one big. Such big sets of design and really intricate color palate mixed with gameplay ideas fixed for the boost boots felt like it was a story level of its own. Get ready to be wall jumping and whooping in what seems like a bird sanctuary under the perfect music track for the experience of flying like a feather.

hyperdude95

Gah! I'm so jealous of you people! How do you create such wonderful masterpieces such as this while I'm over there in the corner trying to figure out how to glue two pieces of blocks together. I really admire creators like the KomodoBrothers who can take a simple gameplay mechanic, the boost boots, and almost entirely re-imagine it. There are so many ideas being used here where I went, "Holy cow, I didn't even know you could do that with those!" I love this level for many different reasons and the main one being, it's fun as heck.

(JVCOM) Volcanic Beauty by alain251Level made for the contest organized by "JeuxVideo.com" , an important French website about video-games ----- Special Thanks : Velvet--audio and Festerd-Jester for the music.

Intense actions and moment will await you when your climbing skills will be tested in the sake of falling into volcano danger. Maybe with the danger being your top priority, its still worthy to note that mountain of flames is quite an eye stagger to behold. Jumping through velociporters and dodging flaming balls require timing and momentum which are your two key components on making it to the end of this flowing beauty.

hyperdude95

The word "beauty" is an understatement here. Breathtaking would be more like it though I guess Volcanic Breathtaking just doesn't have the same ring to it. And that's why I don't name Alain's levels. He has taken a normally dangerous place and one mainly associated with fire and brimstone, death and destruction and turned it into this world of beauty. And of course this being an Alain level, the gameplay is on point. Try not to play like I did though. I would be staring at the scenery and not even notice that a fireball was shooting straight at my head! Jump in, have fun, you'll enjoy it.

This is the first level i played where i was actually encouraged to switch between two power up, we were even assigned a button on the controller to do so in a blink of the eye! Mixing the hook hat and the boost boots together brought standalone game play for each and a great hybrid of obstacles making you use both to move along this ancient crypt. Not sure how much time the Hourglass of Infinite can wait, because the design feels huge and vibrant like any level Shookie has created and your may need extra time to soak it all in.

hyperdude95

You know those levels where you just stand and marvel at the beauty the surrounds you? This is one such level. Shookie has a real knack for creating these environments that sort of includes the player in the game, if that makes sense. What I mean is this. I feel like I'm actually in there, you know? As I'm standing there staring at the walls and the bendy rails and all the deco in the nooks and crannies, I can almost feel and smell the air around me. Then I start playing and the gameplay is so smooth how it flows from one area to the next that I get lost in this little world and don't want to leave it.

Geez, I don't know how much more I can take! So many awesome levels! You guys are doing a great job of feeding my addiction but I must have MOAR! Oh boy do I love how this one looks. I don't know exactly what it is. If it's the architecture of the landscape or the color scheme I like more. It's like the cartoon world and the real world collided and created this wonderful landscape in which to play around in. Speaking of playing, whoa, here's some unique gameplay here. You use the boost boots and the hook hat but what's different here is being able to interchange them on the fly. Now this creates some unique opportunities as you can imagine. Very fun gameplay that is both challenging and super fun. Enjoy.

biorogue

A platformer that is as rich in atmosphere as it is in gameplay ideas. You will need to be agile indeed as you weave your way through the level equipped with a hook hat and boost boots. Split second timing is required as you switch between the two, flying from rail to rail and boosting across gaps. Itís brilliantly put together, the obstacles are testing but the switching using L1 is very smooth and I can only blame my slow reactions for my ultimate failure to get through to the very endÖthat last obstacle with the angled bounce pad just proved too much for me. Iím sure youíll all fare much better than I did and anyway youíll have enormous fun pitting yourself against this challenge. Actio is well known for his superb skills with the paint tool and so itís no surprise that this level looks as good as it does. Rich, dark materials, ecclesiastical touches and some well-chosen music give the whole thing a gorgeous, sultry feel. Anyway, enough sermonising from me, just play the level!

Joker's return by The-RraptOrrOh god! Joker is on lbp 3 too! And he make a second factory, you need to use your new gadget to travel it! Be careful this factory is a little bit difficult that the first.

If anyone is going to be doing a remixed version of the DC Comics level pack in LittleBigPlanet 3, it should be this creator. Not once did i say to myself" oh wait you can improve this bit here and there", because it felt so professionally well made I can easily mistake the proper design and gameplay to be from the official LBP team. The joker may be mischievous in his all new factory, but i got to give it to him, there are pretty snazzy uses of bits and bobs that laugh in our faces while springs pop by and gifts full of surprises that we should know by now we should not open if its from yours truly.

hyperdude95

Holy bright colors Batman, where are we? Quiet Boy Wonder and take a look around! Notice the evil mechanisms that surround you? There's only one villainous villain who is crazy enough to build this factory. The Joker! This level is three shades of fun! I love it! Once again, the vile Joker has created a beastly feat of engineering and there's only one being capable enough to defeat him. Batman? Hahaha, no way. I'm talking about Sackboy! Jump into this level and you'll be using just about all the new power-ups in all kinds of cool ways to thwart the evil plans of the Joker. Just a fantastic level that is a ton of fun to play.

Wait a minute. Doth mine eyes deceive me? I could have sworn I had loaded up a community adventure and not a story adventure. That's what you're going to say to yourself when you see this work of art for the first time. There are four levels in this adventure and they're all in that classic Five-Ate-Five style. Great visuals and superb gameplay. Now, with any adventure, there are easy segments and uh, no so easy segments. Nothing to rage quit over mind you, just some areas with good old fashioned challenging gameplay. I love the story and the humor in this and I know you will too. Queue it up.

biorogue

Another level from Five-ate-Five which positively fizzes with ideas and style. His by now almost trademark cartoon-like visuals make a colourful backdrop for some fun gameplay. Marielyn Monoreo presents you with a (huge!) magnet to help you in your quest to save the city and youíll have a blast dragging and swinging stuff around, including bombsÖwhat could possibly go wrong xD You even get to use the magnet to whizz along rails (and get repeatedly fried too by the electrified obstacles if youíre me) and defeat various bosses with it. Itís a grand adventure, challenging, ambitious and full of colour and flair. Iím glad I saved my first heart for an adventure level for this one by Five. Great job.

Venice Venture [Platformer] by se-mi92A Venice themed Platformer... Medium-Hard, I hope you enjoy! 1 Player for best performance, might be laggy with more players. Music by Missi_Cat and Breezy-the-pro

I have never been to Italy before, but i do know one thing. They don't have designs that can pull off such jaw-dropping 3D illusions that fit the theme of Venice so fantastic and makes it feel really refreshing. Climb away and run across roof tops, or even better yet grab yourself an umbrella and start floating in the grasp of the wind right in front of tricky sections to get yourself high enough in the air to float down to the next section of the level. The length is perfect for this kind of adventure as it may not be an average lengthed level, but it goes far as to stretch it out a bit more to introduce even more game play ideas while travelling across Venice!

hyperdude95

There's just too much to list here. My goodness! It's hard to find a level with soooo many different types of gameplay all packed into one area. And it's not like it's typical gameplay mechanics either. It's all, "Holy Heck, how'd he do that!?" type of stuff. I mean, there's one section, well several actually, that just had me scratching my head. Very fun level with some challenging sections that will trip you up if you're not paying attention. A great level with tons of details that you really must go see now.

Asylum: The Wandering Shadows by PsyclownpathOne player only. During the late 70's after the condemnation of Project Infusion, a radical team of scientists weren't ready to abandon their unethical practices. Taking refuge in a hospital for the mentally deranged, they found themselves new and unwilling test subjects.

I wouldn't enter this place after i heard the backstory, or even yet peeking through the front door just tells me "Nope" and head back to where i feel safe. However if you find yourself to uncover more on what lies within this abandoned asylum, you are greeted in a top-down horror like experience where its silence and exploration with your handy dandy flashlight. As you creek through doors be on the lookout for files which reveal more about the journey, as well as the scares that awaits..

hyperdude95

Iím not normally a fan of horror levels but Iím certainly going to have to make an exception for this one. Itís very well written and has a nicely (!?) scary atmosphere with some great lighting and sound effects..those creaky doors xD. With the help of a chance found flashlight you explore a seemingly deserted asylum with disturbingly empty padded cells (where are the occupants nowÖ?). There are file notes scattered around to help you puzzle out what on earth has happened and a few jump scares thrown in to keep you on your toes. It also has some of the scariest looking pot plants I have ever seen :P Are you brave enough to probe the secrets of the asylum and find out exactly what is lurking in those shadows???

Mahjong (MiniGame) by Hanfi1311Single player (tile matching) rules... The object of the game is to remove every tile by matching pairs of identical tiles... You can only match "free" tiles (highlighted in green)... A tile is "free" when no other tile is lying above and no other tile is lying to the left or to the right of it... HAVE FUN...

I never played Mahjong before, but have seen very small glimpses of it.I thought it was going to be some confusing game at first since i did not know what to expect and all, but i gave this a go and this version of the classic game was straightforward with a design that made it simple and easy to learn. Its a matching game basically except you can only match tiles that are not being blocked or surrounded by other tiles. After learning the concept i kind of want to play it in real life since this version did a good job of creating the game I was a bit nervous but curious to play.

hyperdude95

I love the game of Mahjong. I have several versions of it on both my laptop and my PC and now, thanks to Hanfi, I've got one on my PS4! This level is simply amazing. The very sleek menu, the cool as ice backgrounds and of course, the game itself. We're given several different board layouts to play, I went with the classic style myself, and each one is just stunning in detail. There's also several different music tracks to soothe you as you work to match up the tiles. Trust me guys, you've got to see this one for yourself.

Kitchen Runner 2 by FabFio71Sackie is back. Get ready for a new little big adventure in the kitchen and collect all 16 prices for use in your own level...play, create, share. Have fun :)

Feeling so small has never felt so big before, i guess that's what StandSmall is all about. Kitchen appliances and counter-tops are everywhere with different kinds of food at every corner you jump on a bouncepad or whoop though a velociporter all the way to the back or very front layer. Collecting blue and yellow score bubbles make it more enjoyable as it will get you pumped for collecting prizes in your kitchen adventure as well.

hyperdude95

This is definitely one of those levels where you spend half your time going ďOh wow, look at that!Ē as you spot yet another brilliant detail. Youíll have a permanent grin your face as you bounce on chillies (or mouth-watering bacon sandwiches!), knock glasses off shelves and generally fly around this wonderfully realised kitchen. The extra layers and new objects from LBP3 take the visual polish to a new level. The gameplay is seamless but what you take away from this level are all those visual star moments. Awesome job again from Fabfio.

Firefly Ruins by R-V-2-0-1-3(1 Player Recommended) - Look, I made a thing!.. Frolic along the ruins with the fireflies. _____________ ~ Music Created By ~

Yes, you did make a thing! No wait I can top that by saying you made a masterpiece! Wow action in every corner didn't stop me from saying wow almost all of the time noticing all of the tiny detail as well that you put into the platforming gameplay in the ruins. I never got lost while climbing on rotating wheels or zooping with a hook hat or not trying to get squished by ascending spikes. I can tell this creator put alot of time to polish this level because its so presenatable that even the fireflies are proud to shine bright upon your creation.

hyperdude95

Oh. My. Goodness. RV hit this one out of the park, down the road and landed in someone's backyard! Holy cow this one is gorgeous. So very pretty. Another one of those levels where I had to stand still for a few minutes to soak it all in. You have tons of little details in here to miss if you move too fast, so best to slow down and take your time so you can see it all. As pretty as it is, the gameplay is where this one is at. The craftmanship that has gone into every obstacle, every platforming mechanic is very apparent here. I can't say anything more about it, you just have to go in and see this beaut for yourself.

Play with 4 different classes, male or female, and level up against fighting monsters and completing tasks in this fast paced action adventure with superior logic when it comes to the top-down concept. It will take you around two hours or so to complete this, but your progress does save so fret not! This will be something you will want to play again and continue where you left off!

hyperdude95

I bet it warms the very cockles of the hearts of the devs at Sumo to see a creator take their tools and create something like this. Iím sure this is what they were dreaming of when they created adventure levels and quest tools for people to play with and Felkroth has done them proud in every possible way. It has all the elements youíd expect from a true RPG: 4 classes to choose from, each with its own special (and brilliantly animated) abilities, a cool story, oodles of quests and baddies to fight. You name it and itís got it. I played with a friend and we kept excitedly spotting little things we recognised from Diablo and/or Dragon Age (like the awesome leaping shot style backflip by the rogue or the spinning shields animation for the warrior). We had a blast starting out on this adventure. We have only scraped the surface so far but Iím sure weíll be back for more. Thereís so much depth and quality here that it would be a crime not to. If youíre still not convinced of the true potential there is in LBP3, then just play this level and youíll be instantly won over.

Battleship by ricksnun75" PLAYER VS PLAYER " Ever wanted to play a real battleship game with your friends? Wait no more, jump in a drag that friend of yours that you always wanted to beat in a proper battleship challenge, with some nice effects and fantastic gameplay, pls review as it's important for future improvement. Thank you for playing

A classic boardgame that keeps people (who play fair of course)on their toes guessing and plotting for total victory. Battleships makes its way with a remake in LittleBigPlanet 3 where you and another player can face each other by placing your war ships anywhere on your according grid with the choice of rotating the pieces. After placing your warships on certain points on your grid then you and the other player take turns guessing coordinates on where you each placed your ships and if guessed right then the ship thats on the called coordinate will get hit. Drown all ships on your opponents side to win, and its a game that will have you play again and again and still have a great time with your captain hat on.

hyperdude95

I know this is going to date me horribly but when I was a kid we played Battleship using a pencil and paper, laboriously drawing out the grid and our ship locations by hand. We never dreamed that one day a version as slick and awesome as this would exist. The rules are the same, of course, but this game is from another planet in terms of the visuals and functionality. I still suck of course but it was a whole lot of fun to play and brought back a lot of memories of fierce battles with my brother (who was not above trying to get a sneaky look at my sheet to see where my ships were grr!). Another level which proves the awesome potential of LBP3 in the right hands.
